- You can view that book at the Internet Archive, but you need to open a free account. It's easy, even I could do it. Alansplodge (talk) 07:58, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

US Retail gasoline pipeline map
editI'm curious about where the retail gasoline that I purchase from the pump in the US comes from. My understanding is that a gasoline pipeline goes from the refinery to a trans-shipment terminal near my city, then a truck carries the gasoline from that terminal to my local gas station.
I'm interested in finding a current map of these gasoline pipelines in the US. Googling around got me this 2019 map titled "Hazardous Liquid Pipelines" from the US department of transportation[1], which seems to include what I'm looking for. If my understanding is correct, the Hazardous Liquid Pipelines map would include pipelines for :
1. refined gasoline products
2. refined diesel products
3. crude oil
4. liquefied natural gas
5. other hazardous liquids
Out of all of these, I'm only interested in #1.
Question 1: The page[2] sources a US department of transportation site [3]. But that DoT site has a login requirement. Is it possible for a regular civilian to access this data?
Question 2: Does the US DoT, or any other organization, publishes pipeline maps for only refined gasoline products?
Thanks for your help and have a nice day.Daniel T Wolters (talk) 21:50, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- I can't answer your question but I strongly suspect that information is not made public for reasons of national security. Shantavira|feed me 08:25, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- I found this website in about 3 seconds by typing "Gasoline pipeline map" into Google. Does it meet your purposes? --Jayron32 11:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- That site links to the exact same site that I posted[4] though... Daniel T Wolters (talk) 11:15, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- It does link to it, but it contains maps that were not in your initial post. --Jayron32 12:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe it's my browser, but I'm only seeing Liquid-Pipelines-map-530.jpg which is only 530 by 382 pixels.[5] I was hoping for something a little larger. Daniel T Wolters (talk) 17:27, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- This page also readily available using the same google search, allows you to find pipeline maps for any county in the United States. It's got quite a zoom level on it. You click the map, enter your state and county, and it brings the map up for you. There are several graphics layers you can turn on and off. --Jayron32 12:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
